Unpacking social scoring systems and their impact on fairness and digital dignity
Governments worldwide are increasingly deploying algorithmic systems that influence citizens’ rights, benefits, and opportunities. These systems often resemble social scoring systems (SSSs) in functionality and societal impact. While extensively studied in China and the United States, SSS remain underexplored in other regions, and no systematization to compare SSS projects within and across regions exists. Moreover, the gap extends to the lack of…
Relational resources and strains
This study examines how individual social capital relates to the well-being of divorced men and women, emphasizing gender differences. Divorcees consistently report lower well-being than other marital groups, and although social capital can function as a coping resource, it is both gendered and disrupted by divorce. Social capital is multifaceted, encompassing network resources, socioeconomic diversity, interpersonal trust, and potential relation…

Environmental Attitudes, Concerns, and Behaviors Across Survey Modes. Assessing Selection and Measurement Biases in ISSP 2020 ‘Push-to-Web’ Surveys
The European Values Study 2017
The European Values Study (EVS) was first conducted in 1981 and then repeated in 1990, 1999, 2008, and 2017, with the aim of providing researchers with data to investigate whether European individual and social values are changing and to what degree. The EVS is traditionally carried out as a probability-based face-to-face survey that takes around 1 hour to complete. In recent years, large-scale population surveys such as the EVS have been challen…
The ISSP 2017 social networks and social resources module
This special issue introduces the 2017 Social Networks and Social Resources module of the International Social Survey Program (ISSP). This module has been newly developed based on specific, up-to-date theoretical and methodological foundations. Within certain limits the designers of this module aimed at allowing comparisons with the previously fielded ISSP modules on Social Networks from 1986 and 2001. The module encompasses measures on social ca…
Evaluation of A Suicide Prevention Program in Switzerland
Suicide is a major public health concern, which disproportionally affects young people. Therefore, effective prevention strategies are needed, but there is a dearth of controlled trials on this topic. Our study will evaluate the effectiveness of a suicide prevention program in Switzerland, where data are scarce. It will test whether the prevention program (1) increases knowledge of suicide and awareness of suicidal risks, (2) provides resources t…
Comorbidity of Symptoms of Alcohol and Cannabis Use Disorders among a Population-Based Sample of Simultaneous Users. Insight from a Network Perspective
Research into comorbidity of alcohol and cannabis use disorders has resulted in inconsistent findings, especially among simultaneous users, who used alcohol and cannabis together on a single occasion. This study investigated the association of alcohol and cannabis use disorders among simultaneous users using a network perspective, which considers direct relationships between symptoms. We used a subset of simultaneous alcohol and cannabis users dr…
From support to overload
Family relationships account for much of the support available to individuals with mental illness. Although some studies have acknowledged the importance of family support, and while others have underlined the harmful effects of negative relationships, research has seldom empirically considered the complex web of positive and negative relationships in family networks. This research hypothesised that social capital has distinct consequences for ps…
Collecting family network data
Contemporary family contexts are characterized by a complex web of relationships, which goes beyond the household boundaries. Indeed, individuals develop meaningful relationships with non-residential family members, close friends, neighbors, colleagues, etc. Unfortunately, most surveys dealing with family ties focus on households and study a few dyads, mainly couple and parent–child relationships. This contribution addresses the use of social net…
Pluralized life courses? An exploration of the life trajectories of individuals with psychiatric disorders
Background: Most of the existing research relating to the life courses of people with psychiatric symptoms focuses on the occurrence and the impact of non-normative events on the onsets of crises; it usually disregards the more regular dimensions of life, such as work, family and intimate partnerships that may be related to the timing and seriousness of psychiatric problems. An additional reason for empirically addressing life trajectories of ind…
